  1. 🥚 NEW: Space junk threatens #spacecraft and #astronauts. Engineers at Dalian University of #Technology built #aluminum "eggshell" arrays that deform together to spread impact #energy, with #water-filled versions dampening shockwaves further, cutting a projectile’s velocity by nearly 65% in tests.

  10. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦅💨 The nankeen #kestrel, a tiny Australian #falcon, flies with exceptional stability in turbulent winds, inspiring one international #research team.

    Wind tunnel #experiments showed wing and tail extensions helped #birds maintain lift and reduce #flight irregularities. The team aims to integrate these features into small #drones as #climatechange increases atmospheric #turbulence.
